Eco is Easy: House made from sustainable materials proves that eco-friendly doesn’t have to be boring

From a distance, it is hard to believe that this house has been made from sustainable materials in a bid to keep it in line with eco-friendly living. This house proves that a green building can still be beautiful, despite strict rules on building regulations and usable materials. The structure of the house is a simple rectangular shape, with light grey concrete walls and large open windows for maximum light entrance and also benefits from a garage and glistening swimming pool at the rear of the property. The upper floor of the house has large ceiling-to-floor windows on the corner which gives the owners a wonderful view of the surrounding landscape. Inside, the interior has been simply designed with contemporary furniture and naturally sourced materials. Project by Shubin + Donaldson Architects and photos by Circo Coelho.
